What line do macrophages come from?
-Myeloid stem cell
What line do peripheral dendritic cells come from?
myeloid stem cells
What line do PMNs come from?
-Myeloid stem cell
What line does mast cells come from?
-Myeloid stem cell
What line does erythrocytes come from?

What are the principal responses from the inflammatory process?
- Tissue injury
- Blood vessel dilation and increased permeability to plasma
- Circulating WBC adhere to walls of altered blood vessels
How do WBC get through vessel walls and to an area of injury?
Chemotaxis
What do WBC do when they reach an area of injury?
Induce phagocytosis of foreign material and tissue debri
Why do tissues swell during the inflammatory process?
-Plasma leakage
What causes pain in the inflammatory process?
-The increased fluid in tissues and effect of chemicals on sensory nerve endings
What releases Histamine?
-Mast cells during inflammation
What releases chemotactic factors?
-Mast cells during inflammation
What releases TNF alpha?
Mast cells during inflammation
What releases Leukotrienes?
Mast cells during inflammation
What releases prostaglandins?
Mast cells during inflammation
What releases interleukins 3,4,5,6?
Mast cells during inflammation
What is the effect of histamine?
Dilation and increase of permeability of small blood vessels
-constriction of bronchi
What are the effects of chemotactic factors?
-Eosinophil and PMN chemotaxis
What are the effects of TNF alpha?
- Recruitment of granulocytes to area of inflammation
- Inducement of fever
What happens to positive acute phase proteins in response to inflammation?
-Increase
What happens to negative acute-phase proteins in response to inflammation?
-Decrease
What causes the epithelial cells to modify and secrete ICAM-1 and ICAM-2?
Interleukin 8
What type of plasma proteins increase due to microbial infections?

In both the specific and non-specific pathway what enzyme allows you to make C3?
-C3 convertase enzyme
What does C3 do?
Activate inflammation and opsonization
What does C3a do?
Activate inflammation
